Lynne Algar – Tri Camps 2010

I am delighted to welcome Lynne Algar to Tri Camps 2010 !!

Currently an Exercise Physiology postgraduate researcher at the University of Limerick, Lynne specialises in recovery strategies for athletes.

Lynne is also a Remedial Massage Therapist, and Physical Therapist qualified from the Irish Institute of Physical Therapies and has recently begun working as an assistant coach and therapist with the Irish Triathlon Squad.

I first met Lynne in Switzerland this year where she assisted National Coach Chris Jones:

My role on the camp was to provide Physical Therapy support, but I also got to put my Sport Science skills to practise whilst; taking bloods, demonstrating some core strengthening exercises and filming running techniques. The camp was a huge eye-opener for me as an Age-Group athlete. The first word that springs to mind when I think of the trip is “volume”. The amount of training the athletes complete is hugely impressive, and this was at altitude with the sessions taking place at 2000m and higher ” (taken from Limerick Tri Club).

Peviously a World Ranked Pentathlon International, Lynne is also a competitive Age Group Triathlete in Ireland. Having just completed her Competitive Triathlon Coaching level II award with the ITU she will bring all her expertise to Tricamps.ie . . . . high 5 !
